Chapter 500: Transcending the Starry Skies: The Hunt for the Divine Kingdom
The second batch of Silver Oddity Essence was quickly fed into the modification platform, and with the influence of the 'Enslavement Seal·Rage' trait, it successfully transformed into the fourth new trait for the Sky Scales Mastery Ring.
Looking at the Sky Scales Mastery Ring in his hand, with its attributes completely transformed, a smile appeared on Song Chi's face.
Although this endeavor had cost him twenty pieces of Red Oddity, he didn't feel any regret.
On the contrary, Song Chi felt it was well worth it.
Returning to the Heaven Ruin Skydome, the Sky Scales Mastery Ring was enhanced to level 69, and at this point, he examined the attributes of the 'Enslavement Seal·Rage' trait once more.
Although it remained the same as before, with the power after the rage state not exceeding the enhancement limit of the component, the nature of its quality had fundamentally changed.
The enhancement limit of the Enslavement Medal was only at the sixth rank, but now it had become the eighth rank. How could they be compared? As long as he wished, he could temporarily grant the power of a Sovereign to the several sixth-rank beings enslaved by the Sky Scales Mastery Ring.
However, despite this, Song Chi wouldn't casually attempt it.
Each of the sixth-rank enslaved beings was of considerable value, and it was rare for anyone to be extravagant enough to use them as disposable consumables.
Shifting his thoughts away from the Sky Scales Mastery Ring, Song Chi once again took inventory of his resources.
After several consecutive enhancements, his resources had been significantly depleted, especially the Sovereign Spirit, of which he had none left in stock. This always made him feel a bit uneasy.
With the intention of starting from scratch, Song Chi strode towards the storage room of the Celestial Marketplace, retrieving all the remaining memory fragments of the Chasing Death Immortal.
For the next period, he decided to focus on refining these memory fragments and extracting at least one or two more Sovereign Spirits from them.
"There aren't many memory fragments left, and the Chasing Death Immortal's soul has already been worn down over hundreds of thousands of years, making it extremely weak. These remaining memory fragments might yield at most three or four more Sovereign Spirits..."
After a moment of contemplation, Song Chi thought of something else:
"I hope that Hunting God can bring me some pleasant surprises, as I really need more Sovereign Spirits..."
...
In an unknown star domain, at the center of a large galaxy cluster.
With the combined efforts of the entire galaxy cluster, an astonishingly vast Floating Land emerged within the central region of the cluster.
If Song Chi were here, he would undoubtedly discover that this Floating Land was imbued with extremely rich demonic energy. In the southern region of the Floating Land, there was an incredibly vast forest, known as the Nightshade Great Forest by the indigenous lifeforms of this Floating Land, which was far larger than a seventh-level Floating Land.
In the southern region of the Nightshade Great Forest, the New Moon Nightshade Elf Clan.
On this day, more than twenty light and agile shadows, like ghosts, darted out of the clan and headed towards the forest's exterior.
Powerful Laws of Darkness circulated around them, and with the cover of night, even the high-level demonic beasts within the Nightshade Great Forest couldn't detect their presence.
These twenty-plus figures were the elder elves of the New Moon Tribe, led by the New Moon Matriarch, with the others being at least at the initial stages of the sixth rank. Their collective strength was formidable.
"Matriarch, I want to remind you once again that we will need to take action within that Divine Kingdom. It's not that I doubt the power of the Lord of the Market Void, as we can all sense the majestic power sealed within the Marketplace Projection Token. But since we're transcending the endless void to take action, and considering the inherent repulsion of the Divine Kingdom itself, will His power still retain its divine might?"
Hearing the words of the sixth-rank peak elf elder beside her, the New Moon Matriarch didn't stop walking, and she softly replied:
"I have my own plans. Even if the power of the Lord of the Market Void is affected, it will still be sufficient to ensure the safe retreat of our tribal members!"
...
The group of over twenty figures raced through the dark forest, a journey that lasted for over an hour, covering a distance of several thousand kilometers.
At one point, the running team suddenly stopped, and they all disappeared into the root of a giant tree with a diameter of nearly a hundred meters and a terrifying height.
The entrance to this tree hole was concealed by a unique concealment spell of the Nightshade Elves, making it impossible for other creatures to detect any abnormalities.
As for the interior of the tree hole, it was a small demonic energy teleportation array. Once all twenty-plus Nightshade Elves entered the range of the teleportation array, a strong glow and spatial fluctuations swept through the tree hole.
However, all of this was hidden by the concealment spell at the entrance, and no abnormalities were detected outside.
As the teleportation commenced, several hundred million kilometers away, in the southern region of the continent, the Bonecrushing Wilderness.
Under the cover of night, the New Moon Matriarch and her group of elves silently emerged from a cave in a hill.
"This is the deepest part of the Bonecrushing Wilderness, and a sacrificial altar of the Hunting God is located a hundred miles ahead. Give me the blood and meat offerings you've collected..."
After receiving a blood-red storage ring, the New Moon Matriarch spoke again:
"Hurry to the planned defense point. This will isolate the sacrificial altar from the outside world. I will act precisely one hour from now, and the commotion I cause will be significant. Do your best to stop those exotic demonic creatures and followers of the Demon God..."
"Yes!"
...
As her words fell, the New Moon Matriarch's Overlord Power slightly expanded, and under her control, a perfect-level Law of Darkness manifested on her tall figure. The next second, she completely disappeared from her original location, vanishing into the darkness of the night.
[The Hunter in the Night, the Crimson Overlord of the Wasteland, the Supreme God of Blood and Darkness, please listen to the call of your believer and accept this most exquisite offering...]
In the depths of the quiet and cold Bonecrushing Wilderness, a voice echoed from a white bone sacrificial altar. As large amounts of high-level demonic beasts' blood and flesh were placed on the altar, a faint red glow began to appear on the bloody sacrificial altar.
In the night sky, the originally bright silver moon seemed to be stained with blood, and a vast Crimson Divine Realm hung high in the sky. It absorbed the blood and flesh of the numerous high-level demonic beasts while also descending divine power to bless the believer who had offered this high-quality offering.
At this moment, the New Moon Matriarch, whose aura was completely concealed by a golden oddity/artifact of the Archdeity rank, suddenly unleashed the Overlord Power within her. Immense energy and the Law of Darkness surged from her body, frantically rushing towards the Crimson Divine Realm in the night sky.
This sudden change naturally alerted the Crimson Divine Realm above, and the divine power that had been descending was quickly retracted.
Seeing this, a mocking smile flashed across the New Moon Matriarch's eyes.
If the Hunting God had not been asleep, this attempt at concealment would have been futile, and it would have been impossible for it to respond.
Now, the one responding to its believers is merely an instinctual remnant of its Divine Realm, and with the realm already in ruins, how could it possibly withstand the onslaught?
Seeing that the Overlord Power and the Law of Darkness had already entangled the Crimson Divine Realm, the New Moon Matriarch waved her hand, taking out another item from the exquisite Storage Necklace she wore.
It was the very same Book of Spirit Speech that she had traded for from Song Chi.
The moment the Book of Spirit Speech appeared, the New Moon Matriarch began to utter ancient syllables, and as she finished reciting the complete sequence, the book suddenly opened, and a chain of bronze runes shot out from one of its pages, piercing the Crimson Divine Realm in the night sky.
The bronze rune chain seemed to ignore the boundless crimson esoteric power emanating from the Crimson Divine Realm, piercing through the void and embedding itself deeply within the realm.
"Crack!"
A faint sound of shattering could be heard, but the New Moon Matriarch paid it no heed. She continued reciting the syllables, and the Book of Spirit Speech, along with her, quickly flew towards the shattered Crimson Divine Realm in the night sky.
"O Omnipresent Lord of the Market Void, mysterious sovereign of the dark side of the Void Sea, please lend your gaze and aid me."
In the Free Stalls Area of the Pantheon Market, Song Chi, who was refining the memory fragments of the Chasing Life Immortal, suddenly opened his eyes, sensing a call from the distant stars.
"Has the New Moon Matriarch already activated the Marketplace Projection Token...?"
Rising quickly, Song Chi did not respond to the call right away but instead summoned the Heaven Ruin Skydome first.
Once he entered the ship, the engine roared to life, accompanied by the sharp sound of metal grinding. As the Heaven Ruin Skydome ascended to the Pantheon Market's sky, Song Chi had already transformed into a Mythical Mechanical Giant over ten kilometers tall.
After completing these actions, his mind finally turned to respond to the call from the distant stars.
The space distorted, and what appeared before Song Chi's materialized Dual Pupil was a crimson world.
Near the purple mist projection, the New Moon Matriarch was enveloped in a not-too-powerful Overlord Power, with the Law of Darkness swirling around her.
It was only when the Pantheon Market's purple mist projection fully materialized that the worry in her eyes completely dissipated.
Perhaps even the New Moon Matriarch herself did not notice that, in the instant the Pantheon Market successfully projected an Overlord-level purple mist projection, a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes, but it was mostly replaced by joy.
After all, with an additional Overlord-level fighting force, the chances of success for this operation would be much greater.
Song Chi's gaze turned towards the sky above the Crimson Divine Realm, where a crimson giant lay asleep.
The crimson giant had four vertical eyes, and its mouth and nose were not below its eyes but on its head. Moreover, on its chest, there was a second, blood-basin-sized mouth, giving it a terrifying appearance.
"Is that the Hunting God you spoke of?"
The Mythical Mechanical Giant's shadow in the purple mist spoke, and the New Moon Matriarch quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, it is. It is currently asleep, and its divine power has been condensed by nearly seventy percent. If it were to awaken, it would undoubtedly be even more troublesome."
Hearing this, Song Chi in the purple mist projection nodded in agreement.
According to the New Moon Matriarch's previous words, this Hunting God had held the divine flame for over a hundred thousand years, and it was only a step away from becoming an eighth-rank Archdeity.
Indeed, it was no wonder that it was an old-time Demon God; just a glance from afar, even from within the distant Pantheon Market and with the multiple layers of isolation provided by the Heaven Ruin Skydome, was enough to make Song Chi feel uncomfortable.
If not for the Overlord Power bestowed by the Pantheon Market, his current strength might have caused him to mutate with just a glance.
"Since that's the case, let's strike quickly and use our strongest attack as planned!"
"Good!"
With a mutual understanding, the two of them began to mobilize their Overlord Power and activate their most powerful attacks.
For the New Moon Matriarch, it was simple; she took out another item from her Storage Necklace, a longbow that also radiated a golden light.
As the golden Oddity longbow was taken out, the New Moon Matriarch once again uttered a pleasant sequence of syllables, and the Book of Spirit Speech opened to another page.
Gradually, an arrow made entirely of bronze runes emerged from the book and was grasped by the New Moon Matriarch.
She drew the bow and nocked the arrow.
The perfect Dark Law rapidly converged on the rune arrow, and with just a glance, Song Chi could sense the terrifying power it contained.
Song Chi sighed softly as he averted his gaze.
If he was not mistaken, the golden longbow in her hand was of the same lineage as the Ten Thousand Souls Annihilation Bow and could also be transformed into a super cannon.
However, this item seemed to be the New Moon Tribe Matriarch's inherited weapon, and there was no way she would trade it.
Furthermore, in addition to the golden longbow and the Book of Spirit Speech that he had traded for, there were at least two more golden Oddity items on her person.
"Indeed, a lineage with generations of Overlord-level power is truly generous..."
But when he thought about the fact that their Overlord Power was gained at the cost of a lifespan of only ten thousand years, Song Chi immediately felt that it was not worth it.
Why strive to improve one's strength if not to gain a longer lifespan? The elves, as long-lived beings, had lifespans of several tens of thousands of years even at the sixth rank, and the normal lifespan of a seventh-rank elf was probably no less than that of the Flame Heritage human civilization. The New Moon Tribe Matriarch, on the other hand, only had a lifespan of ten thousand years, which was too great a cost.
Not wanting to think about it further, he raised his right arm, and infinite thunderous power gathered at the terrifying cannon port in his palm.
Under the coverage of the Thunder Seal, the Nine Heavens Purple Heaven World Devastation Thunder rapidly condensed its energy.
The Nine Heavens Purple Heaven World Devastation Thunder was just one of the characteristics of the Purple Heaven Thunder Cannon; it also included the Black Hole Singularity Burst from the Black Hole Evolution Layer.
Moreover, all thirty thousand points of black hole energy in the black hole energy pool had been injected into this singularity.
Since they had agreed to use their strongest attacks, Song Chi did not hold back.
After all, the opponent was a seventh-rank peak Deity, and if they could not kill it with one strike, its madness upon awakening, with the full support of the Divine Realm, would not be a trivial matter.
